Proposed rule would ban airlines from charging parents to sit with children

It's that airlines are causing this issue though. They have websites to choose seats, and could very easily do this for free. Flight attendants already verify other aspects of seating, so does preboarding, so the entire workflow is done.

Instead the airline makes people pay, or they'll break up a family. That includes the lack of a guardian if there are issues.

100% the airlines' purposeful fault, attempting to extort cash or everyone is in a bad situation. Even the poor flight attendants, their own employees.

As a single dude, I applaud this law, and buddy's attempts to not pay extortion.

For the third or forth time in this thread, I've never argued against the fact that the root cause of this all is the airlines being extortionate. I was clearly (at least I figured it was, my bad I suppose) discussing a reaction to a reaction to a root cause.
